eli5 why a person with more muscle mass doesn’t always lift more

2.19K viewsBiologyOther

i’ve watched a ty video comparing Mariusz Pudzianowski and Kyriakos Grizzly, and it was said that even tho Grizzly had way more pure muscle mass, his powerlifting scores were lower. How is it possible that with more muscle mass he didn’t lift more?

Your strength and trained motor patterns are largely sport specific.

Powerlifter will lift more in a powerlifting exercice because he has practiced the specific movements, and techniques necessary for maximum endurance/force production in his specific sport.

Put a elite powerlifter vs. elite strongman in any test of pure strength which neither has ever done before, and the strongman will come off as the stronger one pretty much everytime.
